While Magia and Alaina earned high praise for "Out Here On My Own" from Fame and Reba McEntire's "Turn on the Radio," respectively -- judge Randy Jackson even compared Alaina to Kelly Clarkson -- it was Toscano who really blew the panel away.

The 21-year-old Toscano's soulful rendition of the Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You" earned the show's first standing ovation of the season from Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.

"I've been here 10 seasons and we've had some amazing performances on here, but you just put yourself in the top with that performance. That was unbelievable -- that's how you do it," Jackson told Toscano.
